Wildfire at Midnight is a novel by Mary Stewart, first published in 1956.[1] Stewart herself described the book as "an attempt at something different, the classic closed-room detective story with restricted action, a biggish cast, and a closely circular plot".[2]
Fashion model Gianetta Brooke goes on holiday to the island of Skye, only to find that her ex-husband, writer Nicholas Drury, is staying at the same hotel.[3]
After two murders take place locally, suspicion falls on the hotel guests. Gianetta, having become friendly with fellow-traveller Roderick Grant, eventually discovers that Grant is the murderer. She is saved from becoming his next victim and reunited with Nicholas.
